I had some limited (but very rewarding)success a few years ago writing comic scripts for 2000AD and Judge Dredd magazine. After that I was self employed for a while, then got married and had three kids. I'm 33 now I'm trying to get back into writing comics. Its what I've alway wanted to do, that's what this blog is all about really. ...That and the occasionally Jeremy Clarkson style rant if something winds me up and I have to get it off my chest. Thanks. Hope you like it.

Steve Pugh!

I said in a post not so long ago I had another artist working on a story for me. Well, that artist is Steve Pugh. (He of The Saint of Killers mini series, Animal Man and more recently Shark Man.) I urge everyone to pick up his stuff because it is all very cool.

Here are two pages he's done for me for a ten page story called "The Devil Men."

Wow, This is amazing looking stuff. Thank you for checking out my blog by the way. The kind words really help. Of the 5 or 6 black & whites from that set, the 2 I have up are the best. I'd like to do some more b&w stuff in the future, but I'm just learning to color in photoshop and am pretty excited about that. Anyway, Steve's stuff looks great, and I'm definitely going to find a copy of this somewhere. Will this be published in the U.S.?

Thanks for all the comments. They're are very much appreciated. As I've said before doing a project like this is a bit like experimenting in a vacuum. So all the encouragement I can get helps. AND by the same token any criticism can go towards a better finished product.

E-girl, sorry I haven't posted more, I've been waiting for more art. Almost everyone I'm dealing with have big commitments with other clients who are their regular employers. It just means that quite understandably I have to be patient. Artists are people too, and they have mortagages to pay and kids to feed like anyone else. BUT I will post some more artwork soon. Hopefully when I've got some lettering done. Although I can't post the whole comics here. I don't want to give everything away.

Anonymous "James?" I'll be e-mailing you in regards to Annie Parkhouse. Cheers.
